I had this happen to me once. The top of a front-loading dryer got a dent smaller than a quarter in it and when we moved out the landlord deducted the cost of a new dryer from our deposit. Back then I had no clue about my rights as a consumer back then and my only recourse was to fantasize about throwing Moltov cocktails through the landlord’s front window. They had this really huge big glass window too…oohhh it would be so…ok, I’ll admit, I still catch myself daydreaming about it.
